I love cooking and baking. But not a pro. I just love being in the kitchen and explore new stuff then try to make some for my family and friends. This time I'm bored and decided to try making a truffles. Since, I want to try something new, I decided to make a truffles! It's my first and I don't want to ruin everything that I have in my fridge so I stick to no bake this time, just to be sure. Plus, its hassle free and very easy! Perfect for quick snack time.

*sorry for the low quality photos

Ingredients:

Oreo cookies 2 packs (you can try any flavors, but with this I use the usual vanilla)

chocolate chips (used for dipping, its just an alternative since its the only ones in my fridge)

Cream Cheese 150 g

Procedure:

1. Put all the oreos in a blender. Stop until crushed.

2. Put the crushed oreos in a bowl and separate some for toppings

3. Add the cream cheese on the crushed oreos. Mix evenly. I used my hands. Be sure to wash properly! Or use gloves if you prefer it.

4. Get a spoonful or decide the amount and make a ball like. Mine is not perfect though :p

5. Place it in the pan and put inside the fridge for 15 mins to 30 mins max. I usually put it there for longer time since its no bake it was prone to softening in an instant.

6. Prepare the chocolate dipping while the truffles are inside the fridge. What happened with me is that I don't have the chocolate used for it, what I have is a chocolate chips, I had it melted but fail on white chocolate chips. I don't know but it never dissolved. I just use it though as the toppings since I wasn't able to separate from the crushed oreos.

7. Once ready, dip the frozen on the chocolate. Then place it on any container you like. Share and eat with your family and friends! Enjoy!

That simple huh? It's not that hard and you can always do this anytime with this simple ingredients. A perfect bonding for you and your friends or with your family or sons and daughters!

If you have noticed, every outfit post I have this phrase or couple of sentences at the end. It was something I wrote from before that belongs to one whole story. :) Thanks for reading and for commending it! Really appreciate it!

It was all surreal when we finally meet. Days past when I started getting into those layers of your mysteries. I get to know you. I get to be in your life. Get to be your girl. Those dreams of sitting beside you, holding your hands, laying my head on your shoulder to hugging and kissing you finally came true. Finally, it is happening.

Wedding is a big deal. Some took a little time preparing it but mostly people took years to prepare for their wedding. For me, planning is very important, especially for this kind of occasion. You need to be very meticulous in every detail so that everything goes perfectly well on your big day. Usually, its the girls who prepares everything. Just my own thought. Though, the guy also have a say on the matter, like for agreeing on stuff since it is both their big day. From invitations, to venue, receptions, food, and most especially the dress.

If your wedding will take place next year, planning as early as now will make a big difference. Preparing for wedding dresses 2016 now can give you so much time to search for the perfect one. And a lot time to change for what you really like. Because I believe every girl should wear the perfect wedding dress for their big day.

There are a lot of wedding dress out there but the most common are the lace wedding dresses which never really got out of style. It evolves into something new but the vintage vibe and the classiness of it still remains. That is I think one of the reason why most of women chose this kind of dress on their wedding.

But if you are still having a hard time looking for one I suggest you visit landybridalwebsite. I know you'll find the perfect dress you've been looking for. They have a wide range of dresses and the style is always up to date and at affordable price.

My friend who's now living at Manchester is coming home to the
Philippines. It's been two years since her last visit here. When she told us
that she's coming home we lists several places and activities that we want to
do when she gets home. Mhejie along with Kisa are the two girls that I can say
my best of friends from college. Just a quick history of our friendship: we've
met during our first year at college and instantly on the first day we became
super friends until now even if we are not seeing each other often. Mhejie
leaves school and migrates at Manchester during our first year and wasn't able
to finish the school year, on the other hand, me and Kisa remained classmates
until second year college because after that I stop school and when I return we
seldom see each other since we don't have any common subjects to share with but
the friendship remains up to we speak.

My favorite photo of us three!

Mhejie is coming together with her
boyfriend and will be staying at Cebu most of her vacation since the guy's
hometown is there. She says, if its possible to visit her there. Kisa already
saying yes and waiting for my reply but hell yeah its going to be fun and its
our first so yeah. Lucky for us, there's a seat sale at Cebu Pacific that we
manage to book a flight even if it's just two weeks away.

Fast forward to our Cebu flight! It's my
first time to be flying to Cebu and my first to flight alone with Kisa and
another first for just the three of us! Mhejie was already waiting for us at
the Cebu.

Our flight schedule was 5:30 in the morning so we left Manila and
head to airport as early as 2 am? Good
thing we leave early because I did not pay attention closely on which airport
we are departing.

I love it most when Mhejie’s guy decided not to come with us. It
means solo trip with my girls. The travel from Cebu city to Bantayan Island
took us 6hrs! Yeah, that was far. A taxi ride going at the terminal, a bus ride
going to the ferry, and from ferry going to which resort you prefer.

First in a long time!

I must commend and suggest you include Bantayan Island on your
bucket list. It is a must! And I swear you will enjoy the place as much as we
do. It is perfect for couple, because unlike Boracay, which is alive and
partying til you drop, Bantayan Island is the complete opposite. It is very
quiet, very solemn, and few people who go there. I bet it’s the time travel,
but its all worth it. Again, if you are looking for quiet and just an island
for yourselves, Bantayan is the island to go.

We left Cebu city around 8am and reach the island around 2 in the
afternoon. That was a hell of a bumpy ride but all worth it. The long
conversation during the trip is what makes it more fun. Let’s emphasize the
topics. Haha! Oh, memories!

The long drive to Bantayan Island, wait, did I say its worth it?
How many times did I mention it already? HAHA! The photos below will surely
give justice to what I am saying here.

Did I already mention that I have a undying fascination with sunsets? To every place that I go to I always look forward to a beautiful sunset. Here in Bantayan Island its not on the beach side but on the other side but though like that its by far the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life! See the photos below and you'll understand why.

Since there’s no partying here, sleeping as early as you can is
one of the most popular thing to do.

Mhejie need to leave early the following day since she has another trip with her guy so me and Kim decided to stay and explore the rest of the island.

It has been one of my favorite island and experience since we are riding in a motorcycle. Yep, the two of us on the back of a guy who we rented to tour us. The place is still beautiful despite the calamity that hit it year ago. The people are very polite and hospitable. There is no fast food here. No Mcdo or even jollibee, one of the local that we happen to chitchat told us that the officials there wanted to preserve the locality of the place and for the people who is in food business will always have profit instead of having a fast food in the place.

After lunch, we leave the beautiful place since it will took us another 6 hours travel going back to Cebu city.

On my next travel post will be our adventure at Cebu City.

First ever out of town trip with girlfriends at Bantayan Island, Cebu dated last May 8-10, 2015 is an official entry to my 81 Before 30 Challenge.
